Thankfully all our county champions survive to this weekend and best of luck to them all. Sligoman1234 (Sligo) - Posts: 430 - 15/11/2024 08:01:49 2579665 Link 0 |
Not surprising as Roscommon clubs havent had much success at junior level and this is probably a better Ballymote team than the last Ballymote team that reached a Connaught junior final

This weekend will tell a lot about where we are. I expect Coolera will give it a right lash. They were awful at this stage last year but with home advantage and the experience of back to back titles I think they will be competitive. Winning might be beyond them. Harp's in the Hyde against a very fancied Elphin side will be a huge test for a young team. Ross will have his homework done. Harp's won't score much but they won't concede a big score either. I just think it might be a step too far for Harps. Ballymote appear to be favourites against a team I know nothing about. Home advantage will be huge and hopefully that could be enough for a home win. Wishing all three teams the best of luck and if we get 2 victories out of 3 it will be a great weekend eoinog (Sligo) - Posts: 1974 - 15/11/2024 23:18:48 2579826 Link 0 |
Another big win for Ballymote, completely dominated the game and the scores finally started coming in the second half. letsgosligo (Sligo) - Posts: 103 - 16/11/2024 17:57:21 2579880 Link 0 |
Congrats to Ballymote on their win. I didn't see it as it was on the same time as the game in the Hyde. Harp's just came up short. Both teams were ultra defensive so it wasn't a great spectacle. Harp's found it very hard to get a scorable free, while Elphin got two that I thought were soft. The shoulder on Cregg by Clarke and another one on the 21 metre line when the ref gave a free in when both teams were scrambling for the ball on the ground. They also nailed 2 forty five metre kicks. That's what was the difference. Henry was the surprise inclusion and was very good. Definitely not as sharp as normal from the long lay off but caused a lot of problems for Elphin. Harp's were also lucky to finish with 15 players on the pitch. eoinog (Sligo) - Posts: 1974 - 16/11/2024 20:06:26 2579900 Link 0 |

Coolera Strandhill won on penalties to reach a first ever Connacht senior final and will be at home for that final. Gaa_lover (USA) - Posts: 3503 - 17/11/2024 15:49:35 2579987 Link 1 |

Good weekend for Sligo teams as Ballymote and Coolera won. Harp's were in it until the last few minutes.. Taypot (Sligo) - Posts: 67 - 18/11/2024 01:17:00 2580075 Link 0 |
Well fair play to Coolera especially as they were fairly ranked as outsiders including with myself as I thought Ballina might be able to break their defensive play. Penalty shoot outs are lotteries but getting all 5 scored is fairly impressive at club level after 80plus minutes of football. Sligoman1234 (Sligo) - Posts: 430 - 18/11/2024 07:08:35 2580081 Link 0 |
I was at the elphin vs harps game and was very impressed with a Henry lad in full forward line. Very good ball winner and good on the ball but probably has a bit of work to do on other parts of his game. What age is he. Any relation to Paddy Henry dave1988 (Roscommon) - Posts: 1159 - 18/11/2024 09:47:48 2580097 Link 0 |
Paddy Henry from a different club Tourlestrane. He has been injured for the later half of the Intermediate championship so probably only getting back in the swing of things but he is a good baller for sure.

Congratulations to Ballymote and Coolera. Going by reports Harps were unlucky not to get the win. RealSouthSligo (Sligo) - Posts: 110 - 18/11/2024 10:40:31 2580109 Link 0 |
